Chapter Forty-Eight: I'm Short of Money

79_79301The candle shadow in the attic is swaying, and the girl's clear voice is like that night in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Well, I know, if you can't, no one in the world can." Bu Xi smiled.

"If I can't, I'll find out everything about the courtiers for you." Twilight Road.

Three months, that's enough!

Bu Xihuan was stunned, the candlelight brightened his eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was as warm as late spring, and he asked carefully, "Only for me to take these three cases?" ”

Twilight Qing lowered her head to drink tea, avoiding Bu Xihuan's gaze, and said, "It's also because I like to investigate cases." ”

Saying this, she still admitted that she had the intention of helping him, and the smile was warm, as warm as the wind and snow outside the window, and a peach blossom blossom.

"When the matter is over, you can go back to the palace." Twilight is cold and pestering.

"Who's done?" Bu Xi smiled's cold face to Twilight Qing was not affected by her, "You and I have a heart, and I am also thinking about the courtiers these days. ”

Twilight was stunned for a moment and asked, "You also want to start from the courtier's mansion?" ”

Bu Xihuan smiled, the smile was deep and unfathomable, "It's been many years, and it's time to close the net." After the Shangyuan Festival, there will be someone to help you. ”

She is willing to plan for him, he is very happy, he will not let her fail to solve the case, the net she has cast over the years is for her.

When Twilight Qing heard this, she was thinking deeply about it, so she saw Bu Xi get up slowly, and said, "Okay, this time it's over, you can rest early." ”

Twilight's complexion changed, and she quickly left the stool, her body was short, and she avoided behind the table! Bu Xihuan was stunned, and saw Twilight Qing showing half of her head from the table, her eyes cold and guarded.

"Don't click on my sleeping hole!" She said coldly.

Bu Xihuan was stunned for a long time before she realized the meaning of her move, and couldn't help but smile deeply, the smile was joyful, and the laughter was so good that it tickled people's hearts.

Twilight's eyes became colder and colder, he had done this twice, did he think that she would not guard against him the third time?

"Qingqing...... "How should he sue her, it's useless for her to hide there?"

The man smiled and raised his hand lazily.

"I have something to do tonight, don't spoil my business!" Twilight Qing was too lazy to say that there was no threat to Bu Xihuan such as chopping her hands again, she directly made it clear that she was going out tonight and couldn't sleep.

Bu Xihuan's hand paused, "Huh? ”

"I have something to do, I want to go out."

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"Yuchun Tower."

Yuchun Building is the Qinglou of the official name in Shengjing City, the so-called official name, that is, the Qinglou that accepts the daughters of the criminal ministers.

The courtiers were convicted, and some of the female dependents of the family were sent to the Qinglou Song Workshop, and some were sold into slavery in the official family, and they fell into slavery, and they were humble all their lives, which was even more miserable than the people in the lowly family.

The wind is cold in the middle of the night, the snow is as big as plums, the sound is bleak, the twilight raises his eyes at the corner of the street, and he sees the beautiful building on the long street, the red lights are stringed, and the wind is shaking, which is different and charming.

As soon as Twilight Qing stepped into the Yuchun Building, a turtle slave greeted her, and when she saw her face, she was stunned at first, and when Twilight Qing took off her hood and revealed her whole face, the turtle slave was shocked again, and then smiled all over her face: "Yo! Isn't this the Jiangbei Navy Division Zhou Dudu? ”

Twilight Qing bowed lightly, she had just arrived in Shengjing for less than half a month, and the turtle slave in this Yuchun Building could actually recognize her, it was indeed the Qinglou with an official name, and she had worked the noble and upstarts in the capital.

She shook the snow at the door, and the turtle slave was busy with it, but Twilight gave it to the person behind her.

The turtle slave was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Tonight, the girls in our building are afraid that they will be so happy that they will rob people!" ”

"Flattery! The Governor of Pontus has no appearance and no wealth, how can the girl in your building look down on the Governor of Pontus? ”

"Look at what the governor said, who doesn't know that the saint has rewarded you with a beautiful house in Ludao Lake, and has also rewarded you with a lot of gold and silver?" The turtle slave smiled, he ushered in a lot of noble children, and he had seen all kinds of tempers, so he wouldn't be able to answer because Twilight Qing spoke straight, but joked with her as if it were true or false.

"It's just a small house three times." Twilight said lightly.

"That's also a beautiful house, it's enough to hide Jiaojiao!" The turtle slave smiled, "The girl in our building is the most delicate in the whole capital, so let's take a look at which one do you want to hide?" ”

"Don't worry, come all the way, rest first. But there are also private rooms? Twilight glanced upstairs and saw that there were lights in the house, so I was afraid that there was no land, right?

"Yes, yes, yes! The governor is here, how dare not? If there is no small one, I will call you out and invite you in! The ghost slave is used to coaxing people, so he smiled and invited Twilight to a private room on the second floor.

After a while, the refreshments were delivered, and the turtle slave smiled when he left: "When does the governor want the girl to accompany him, you only need to call the little one, and the little one will lead someone into the house to pick it for you!" ”

Twilight replied faintly, and the turtle slave went down.

As soon as the door closed, the room was quiet, Twilight turned around, and saw that the person sitting next to him had an unremarkable face, but the demeanor of holding the tea cup was graceful and elegant, seeing that he wanted to drink tea, Twilight Qing raised his hand and covered the tea bowl, frowned, and said: "Don't drink it, there are many sick people in this kind of place, who knows if this tea set is clean." ”

The man put the teacup aside, glanced at Twilight lightly, and said lazily, "The tea is hot!" What do you do with your hands? I'm not afraid of getting hot! ”

The man's eyes were furrowed, his words were full of rebuke, and his brows were furrowed. Twilight Qing looked at it, a little depressed, who asked him to follow!

She originally wanted to come with Moon Kill, but when Bu Xihuan heard it, the palace didn't return, so she asked Moon Kill to find a mask and come back, and she followed Yuchun Lou in the robes of her own soldiers. She just arrived in Shengjing, and the people in the house went deep into Jianchu, except for the moon killing, they rarely brought others out, but fortunately, the turtle slave in Yuchun Building didn't recognize the people around her.

"It's dirty." Bu Xihuan saw that Twilight's face was gloomy, and his tone had softened when he spoke, he put the tea cup on the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and threw it on the table together, when he raised his eyes, he saw that her face was still ugly, he couldn't help but smile, and asked, "Your house is smaller, why don't you rush Ming'er to change the seat and bring it to you?" ”

He remembered that she was going to marry five hundred daughters-in-law.

"No need, the house is small, there are few beauties, I earn it myself and raise it myself!" Twilight got up as she spoke, and walked to the window, looking into the lobby.

Bu Xi laughed, glared at Twilight, grabbed the fruit on the plate casually, and as soon as he grabbed it in his hand, he remembered that she said something unclean, and threw it in casually, and asked, "What are you doing in Yuchun Tower?" ”

She wouldn't come to such a place out of curiosity, and if she did, she would have a plan.

"Earn money!" Twilight turned and walked out of the room and went downstairs.

There is a gambling table in the lobby of Yuchun Building, but it is different from the gambling house, the legs of the ordinary people of the Qinglou with the official name cannot step in, and the people who can come are the children of the nobles of the scholar clan, and the people around the gambling table are all gentlemen, wearing brocade robes, accompanying Meiji, and gambling on large silver tickets.

The dealer shook the dice, and a group of sons gambled on the size, and when they lost their eyes, their demeanor was no better than that of the ruffians in the market.

One by one, he swept the silver ticket on the table to the ground and said angrily: "Bad luck! ”

Someone next to him gloated and said with a smile: "I said Cao Gongzi, people's luck always declines when they encounter disasters, I think you should stop betting, lest you lose ruthlessly, and you have to go back to the house." ”

This Cao Gongzi is Cao Zi'an, the concubine of Cao Shangshu's family, that day the Xiangfu Poetry Meeting, he angered Yuan Xiu and was driven out of the house, and after he went back, he was beaten by his father, and was carried to the Xiangfu to apologize to Yuan Xiu for his guilt, Yuan Xiu didn't see him, and he was carried back again. This incident not only made him unable to raise his head in front of his brothers at home, but also made him lose face among the children of the Beijing Sergeant clan.

Although he is the concubine in the Shangshu Mansion, but his biological mother is the daughter of the Xie family of the wealthy merchant Southern Wei and Northern Xie, there is no shortage of gold and silver, he is good at poetry and painting, good at the piano, and is quite talented among the brothers in the house, so he has always been favored by his father, and has not suffered too much grievance since he was a child. As soon as the matter of the poetry meeting in the other courtyard came out, he was subjected to the family law for the first time, and raised in the house for a few days, although the injury is not good, but the action is unhindered, because he is bored at home, and he has not seen Miss Xiao for a few days, and he thinks very much, and secretly came to Yuchun Building at night.

He originally wanted to come to meet Miss Xiao, in his eyes, the world is full of laypeople, but Miss Xiao is noble and understands his poems, paintings and piano sounds. But people are really unlucky, Miss Xiao withdrew the red card tonight and did not see the guest, he was depressed and had to come to the gambling table to relieve his anger, who knew that the more he gambled, the more he lost, and he never won once!

"My son will bet until dawn! I can't win if I don't believe it! Cao Gongzi was exposed to the sore spot, his face couldn't be hung up, he refused to go, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and slapped them on the gambling table, snapped, and the sound was loud.

The sons next to them glanced at the silver ticket, and their smiles were engraved on their faces, and most of them were not good in their hearts.

There is no concubine in Shengjing City who is so good at reincarnation as Cao Zi'an, the aunt is the daughter of the Xie family, and the father is Cao Shangshu, the silver in his hand is inexhaustible, and some of the sons in the house do not have the financial resources to spend a lot of money at night just to see Xiao Fang, but he doesn't blink an eye.

"My son is not short of silver, if you have the ability, see how much you can win!" Cao Zi'an looked at the faces of the sons around him and felt happy.

At this time, a voice itself was heard, "I am short of silver, I will bet with you!" ”

The voice was extremely cold, all the sons turned around in unison, saw the person coming clearly, and the lobby was quiet!

How could it be her?

Jiangbei Naval Governor, Tuesday Egg!

Twilight Qing looked at Cao Zi'an and asked, "I am short of silver, does Cao Gongzi dare to gamble?" ”

She didn't leave the house today, but it wasn't that she didn't do anything, she sent someone out to inquire about Cao Zi'an's recent situation, and at night Shiyue Kill came to report, saying that Cao Zi'an came to Yuchun Building. Last time, I heard that he loved Xiao Fang in Yuchun Building at the poetry meeting in the other courtyard, but Xiao Fang was proud of his talents, he only saw one person a day, only one hour at a time, and he didn't see everyone at all, she didn't look down on Cao Zi'an, not to see him when he went back, Cao Zi'an would gamble in Yuchun Building when he was depressed.

And a few days ago, he was humiliated at the poetry meeting, and he must be depressed in his heart, no matter whether Xiao Fang sees him tonight or not, Twilight knows that he will definitely gamble in the lobby.

So here she is.

Her target tonight was not Cao Zi'an alone, but Cao Zi'an bore the brunt.

Twilight Qing glanced at the gentlemen in front of him, and the Northwest Army's pension and silver corruption case was from them! .
